Permanent vs Temporary Install
Permanent Install
Human hair Loc Extensions can be worn permanently.
Our recommended install technique is the Crochet technique or the Braiding & Wrapping technique. We do NOT recommend using any glue or thread to install Fashion Dreads loc extensions.
Permanent Installs can be worn as long as you choose, most people have them cut out after 3-5 years.
Temporary Install
Human or Synthetic Loc Extensions can be used for temporary installs
Temporary Installs should not be kept in for more than 3-4 months and the loc extensions can be reused.
Color / Bleaching
Our Synthetic Loc Extensions and all synthetic hair can NOT be colored or bleached
Our Human Hair Fashion Dreads are NOT virgin human hair. This means they have been bleached / colored to achieve its color.
Color #1 - Black Human Hair Loc Extensions can NOT be colored / bleached. This color is processed that way to ensure the color will not fade over time.
Just like coloring locs or natural hair, bleaching or using color may weaken the hair shaft and potentially alter the texture and integrity of the Fashion Dreads loc extensions.
We do NOT recommend bleaching Fashion Dreads and are not responsible for any damage to the quality of the Loc Extensions or texture as a result of processing.
The skinnier (ie. extra small, small) the loc extension the more susceptible it is to weak points and breakage from bleach / color.
It’s easier (ie. less damaging) to purchase a lighter color loc extension and dye it darker to suit your needs, than purchasing a darker color and bleaching it lighter (read that again if you need to!).
Conditioner
We do not recommend using conditioner on the install points for the first 6 months after the initial install. This can cause slippage depending on your hair texture and the technique used to install. Once your hair has properly loced onto the Fashion Dreads Loc extensions, you can use conditioner.
